I just started using the ipod photo, and I installed the latest iTunes. It was formatted for Mac, so iTunes proceeded to restore it to work with a PC. It downloaded the latest software update and then it asked me to plug in the power cable for the ipod dock. It was plugged in, and an image of a power adapter going into an outlet appears on the ipod screen.
Now I'm not able to get beyond that screen. And the ipod isn't showing up in iTunes anymore. I tried switching USB ports, restarting iTunes, and restarting my computer and it won't go beyond that screen.
I also tried the hard reset method described on Apple's website (switch on hold then press menu and the center button together)- that takes me to the Apple logo, but then it's right back to the power adapter going into the outlet picture on the ipod.
Any ideas? Thanks guys.
